Martial Arts Weapons

Martial arts weapons are very simple. The most popular is the wooden staff and a wooden sword. When used by a trained student of master they can be quite useful for self defense as well as offensive maneuvers. They are easy to make and are a wonderful sparring tool as well. When used to spar they can leave welts which makes them reinforce blocking and disarming techniques.

There are many martial arts weapons that are used in ninjitsu. Grappling hooks, throwing stars, throwing knives, katanas and other very sharp swords are all commonly used by ninjas. Shuriken, a small sharpened blade that could easily be concealed, were also a popular tool amongst ninjas. They could be in the form of a sharpened piece of metal, a wooden stake, or even a coin.

One of the most used martial arts weapons are katanas, sometimes called samurai swords. It is a gently curved sword that is exceptionally sharp and strong. It has a long grip so it can be held with two hands and a small blade guard. It has a single sharp edge that is renowned for its cutting ability, achieving mythical status in many stories.
